Fri 05 May 2007Drogheda boosted as injury worries easeDrogheda United's recent injury crisis shows signs of easing ahead of this evening's visit to the RSC in Waterford where manager Paul Doolin expects to have Brian Shelley, Damien Lynch, Declan O'Brien and Eamon Zayed fit enough to feature while Glen Fitzpatrick returns from suspension."Against Cork last week a few of the lads looked tired but there's no shame in that, it had been a hard week for them and if I'd had enough bodies to make a few changes then I would have done it," said Doolin. "The lads did well to get the draw and maintain the seven-point lead we had over them in the table."
